Waterfront - Offwhyte, Open i

I’m standing at the waterfront

And I’m looking out for all of 'em

So if they come, then let 'em come

You’re only safe if you are a friend

I’m standing at the waterfront

And I think I can see the eyes of them

So if they come, then let them come

The results will be embarrassing

The fearless feel misery, but it’s tearless

Catch grief for being a realist

Drama nonstop like the theater of war and its imperialists

Getting grief for being a realist

I’m from the Midwest where the dust make your eyes squint

And elements get under your skin

Add a little selfless work that goes unaccounted for

The same things always mattered before

Right, right

I metabolize and then I victimize

Get 'em upset, you can see the cracks in their disguise

It’s gonna break

Goes to show you can’t leverage fate

Dreams are the avenues that I take

Look away at the carnage

Aren’t you unaccustomed to see it tarnish

Fever regardless

Plus I’mma fulfill the promise

And recreate the painstaking memory

Like jailbreaking your soul

Beyond control

Forged by the love of the people as a whole

That’s crafted on the strength

What the F you think

My ancestors spill blood

So I spill ink from the pen

Under the premise that we gonna win

So if it don’t do what you want it to do

Gut the structure, touch the texture

Use your best estimate

But do what you gotta do

To finish the rest of it

And get ahead of it

I’m at the waterfront

And I’m looking out for all of 'em

So if they come, then let 'em come

You’re only safe if you are a friend

I’m standing at the waterfront

And I think I can see the eyes of 'em

So if they come, then let 'em come

The results will be embarrassing

What it was, it was

And what it is, it is

And it’s at the waterfront

The fearless feel misery, but it’s tearless

Catch grief for being a realist

Drama nonstop like the theater of war and its imperialists

Getting grief for being a realist

An elder approached me, spoke closely

Said don’t be afraid to think long-term

He said inevitably there’s going to be wrong turns

But that’s just a test of your concern

I was raised to be an engineer and forge my future

Interchangeable parts is what I use

To make the world make sense

Break first defense

Put a crooked number up over the fence

Here’s to reinventing yourself

Putting everything through a vetting process

Without anybody to tell

I take a stand, then make a scene to make a statement

Like everything you just said don’t even make sense

Pass the stop and go

Lay 'em all flat like dominos

Get to the top and scream Galapagos

Don’t hold anything back, this is the front

The ledge

The bleeding edge

It’s everything that you want

Standing at the waterfront

And I’m looking out for all of 'em

So if they come, then let 'em come

You’re only safe if you are a friend

I’m standing at the waterfront

And I think I can see the eyes of 'em

So if they come, then let 'em come

The results will be embarrassing

The fearless feel misery, but it’s tearless

Catch grief for being a realist

Drama nonstop like the theater of war and its imperialists

Getting grief for being a realist
